I’m not interesting. But I do really care.
Without it, we are in trouble. Look at Fox News in the US. The mouthpiece of Trumps authoritarian rule. He defunded PBS — the only non corporate news source. Be very very worried about what Farage, Musk et al will do. We have to defend the BBC with everything we have.

Well said. I want the normal Auntie back. The BBC has gone utterly off piste in the last year or two. I’ve utterly lost trust and respect for it. But it can come back.

And that we’re all Hobbits. Uhm. We’re not. I think he needs to adjust his meds. And go away. Right far away.

I think YouGov polls are weird. People are paid to take them.

She should go live with her daughters and let her sons in law deal with the weird mother in law. That’s what normal families do. Oh wait. Not normal. Still…

I would like to consciously and definitively uncouple from any news of such wanton profligacy. It’s immoral and obscene. Can GP really be so tin-eared? I wonder if her daughter supports this performative excess?

So good I read it twice. Thank you. I think. It’s also keeping me awake. So there is that response too.

Yup. It’s the party where racists feel at home. Among their own. They now speak their minds knowing it’s accepted. Desperately troubled that I find I have a family member who says she is going to vote for them. Kitchen table politics come to all of us. And that’s where we must now fight.

I think effective politics that cares about community and people could use a little “boring” right now. I’m all for boring. Also… calm. Organised. Efficient. Focused. Honest. Ethical. That’s what we need please.

I to the point in the article where it said “He wasn’t some wealthy boarding school kid. Poor guy had to make due with Cornell instead of Harvard or Yale.” Dismissed for poor writing.

In our house we’ve decided (1) he’s building a military style bunker to be staffed by ICE and (2) he will announce as he and his buddies paid for it, he owns it in perpetuity. This is based on nothing but our own paranoia.

If characters looked like that, I may have chosen to watch it. I’m the only person on the planet who has never watched an episode of Friends. I am proudly holding onto this small achievement for reasons I find hard to explain. I’m sure they’re very nice people.
